Today is my 82nd April 4. And I am increasingly curious about my end of life possibilities. How many more April 4ths remain? What will I do with the time from now to then? What will be The Event that will be the turning point between life as it has been to life as it will be until my last breath? What will matter to me during however many days remain? How many realizations are left to me? I think that is my greatest curiosity. How many realizations remain?

Realization is my greatest pleasure. I fish for them with questions. Making inquiries is what I do best. How many more questions can I generate through all of the days left to live? I am driven by inquiry. What remains to wonder about? What needs to be known? I love the idea of the prospect of remaining quiet and alert to all of the questions I have yet to ask. What will pique my interest today? Through all of the days left to be lived. I hope you will be with me all along the way!

I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
